Anyone have more info about the Dodge truck recall?

Just read this news release, but it doesn't have much info. Did some searching and didn't come up with anything. Anyone have some info to lend?

I was about to say it was probably becuase there were some reports seeing 6.7's with smoke coming out of them.

You and me both! Not to mention, Diesel Performance Magazine just named the 2007 25000 with the 5.9 as one of the top 10 collectible diesels. Pretty cool.

I think the 5.9 guys should have a post where they can tell everyone how glad they are they bought a 5.9. I thought this was a 6.7 board?
